car shuts off while driving. well ive been having this major problem with my car. today it happend twice. once while i was parking the car just shut off before i finished parking. second time when i was going back home i was coming to a stop light and the car shut off before i even stopped at like 30 mph.... so it kinda seems to be doing it while decelerating. but also on the highway sometimes i step on the gas to go a little faster and it kind of bogs and then starts up again.and when it turns off it ussualy dosent start for a while or a couple of cranks. spark plugs are new. and was doing it before i changed them. just not as often. really need this fixed since its my only car...

I would get your ICM tested. You said you thought it happens when decelerating, so I'd hook up a vacuum gauge to see if you have a vacuum leak. Test your fuel pressure, that never hurts.
